to him, as well us warning to other

Mr.. Z. G. Robinson has returned
from New York, where he went last
week to meet his son-in-law, Mr.. A. W.
Bosworth on his return from France,
whittier he had been for the benefit of
his health. We regret to state that
Mr.. Bos worth returns home with no
perceptible Improvement from his trip;
indeed it was thought by his friends
and himself that he would not survive
the ocean voyage, but happily these
fears are dispelled, although he ar
rived in a very low condition. He is
now in the Grand Union Hotel, where
all that skill and care can do for him
will be done. Friends will hope for
the best.

ers have made public their report on
the disaster at White River Junction
on the morning of the 9th. They find
that the accident was caused by a
broken rail and exonerate the corpora
ton from blame in the matter, as the
defect In the rail could not have been
discerned until it broke. The board
is of the opinion that many of the
lives lost might have been saved but
for the fire caused by the stoves and
oil lamps in the cars, and urges that
some other than the present means
of heating passenger cars be adopted
The introduction of steam heating
and electric lighting cannot in the
opinion of the board, be much longer
deferred; heating with steam direct
from the locomotive or other device
without fires in the cars will be
recommended to the officials of all the
roads in the State.

There has seldom been a larger body
of snow on the ground throughout
the whole country than there is at the
present time. The news columns of
the papers are of course full of delays
of trains, blockading of travel and
traffic and other inconvenience. Yet
there are many compensations about
it.. A thick covering of snow protects
the ground from deep and killing
frosts, and supplies enliching material
for the next seasons crops. : good
blanket of snow through the cold
weather is especially favorable to a
good hay crop, one of the most i'm
portant New England staples. 1t is
II great advantage to the lumber in
terest Of the northern states, where
there has been little umbering done
for several winters, owing to INSULT
cient snow in the woods. This season
will probably witness one of the largest
outputs of lumber OH record. Album.
dant snow is protection to plants
and trees. 1t keeps the dwellings OF
the poor in the country warm by
banking the cellars and walls.
